President John F. Kennedy challenged the United States to have a man land on the moon and to take a leadership role in the "space race."
While President Nixon was a big supporter of space exploration, it was President Kennedy who actually started federal funding to finance it. It could be said, Kennedy started the space race.
Most famously was President John F. Kennedy who wanted to put a man on the moon.
President John F. Kennedy sent a message to John Glenn while he was in outer space during his historic Friendship 7 mission in 1962. Kennedy's message expressed congratulations and support for Glenn's significant achievement.
John Glenn Jr. was important to American space exploration because he was the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962 as part of the Mercury 7 mission. His successful mission helped establish the United States as a major player in the space race with the Soviet Union. Glenn later became a U.S. Senator and continued to support space exploration initiatives.
